Were you surprised by this young KU men basketball team’s Big 12 league championship?
Asked at Wayne and Larry’s Sports Bar, 933 Iowa on March 7, 2009
“No … . I think they had the potential to do it all along, it was just a matter of taking it one game at a time.”
“I guess I was. … They had a lot to live up to with last year’s team … and they owe it to Cole Aldrich; he’s my man because he’s from Minnesota too.”
“Not really, considering how well we’ve been doing in recent years.”
“Absolutely not. … With Bill Self as coach, they’re going to go all the way.”

KU seems to always pull out a Big 12 championship or Big 12 Tourney Championship in the end, so it really isn't that surprising.

They question now is HOW are going to do against NON Big 12 Teams... They have shown a history of choking when it counts (last year being the exception)

I think I would've been had Danny Manning not been an assistant on the team.
He went through it before.
Lost a lot of games early then came back late in the year.
Experience counts.
